How can we redeem/rebuild the Horde?

I didn’t quite follow everything in your post but I’ll try to respond. If I have incorrectly portrayed your arguments I apologize:

1). I am not comparing who had it worse. My intent was to compare what restitution Blizzard has offered in response to mitigate the amount of tragedies that BfA inflicted.

2). This has been touched on a lot but Calia Menethil is not any sort of “benefit” for the Forsaken. Calia Menethil has no connection to the Forsaken and hasn’t suffered as a Forsaken. She’s actually pretty offensive for anyone who relates to the Forsaken. It’s like having a white person lead the NAACP.

3). The Horde “gets” to successfully (with Alliance help) remove someone (who apparently has been evil for a decade) who has been leading them into helping a super duper bad guy? That’s an amazing spin.

4). I didn’t say the Night Elves should be happy about slowing the Horde in Darkshore. Or even that they should be happy about eventually winning Darkshore (and finding out in a crappy manner). Or even letting Tyrande strike the killing blow against Nathanos in a pretty cool cutscene. I even said it’s clearly not enough (including everything else) and I don’t know if enough will ever be done.

5). I didn’t claim killing Rastakhan was a “win” for the Alliance, but the Horde did suffer a loss of a relevant character (and a soon-to-be allied race). Our character base is dwindling as it is. But I did say there is something insidious about having the Horde players partaking in the raid have to play as Alliance races for part of it.

I think you took the entirety of my post and read it from the opposite direction. Some (most) segments suffered stupidly written losses in BfA. Blizzard hasn’t done enough to remedy the disaster that it was and I don’t know if they can. I will say they’ve done more for Night Elves than others (as far as I can see) but that hasn’t been enough.
